Exhibitions

We are always looking forward, whether that be with the products we craft and bake, or the programme of events we are presenting. Just like a recipe, we are excited by the fusion and alchemy of different elements, to make something unique and authentic.

MEDICINE EXHIBITIONS

14 August - 9 September

Children in Movement is a collection of youth migration stories spanning almost 80 years, starting with a young Czechoslovakian girl’s journey on the Kindertransport in 1939. Every story across each subsequent decade echoes its themes of separation and community, identity and difference, loss and hope, as young lives have threaded their way from all corners of the globe to make their home in Birmingham, and to make Birmingham today’s most ethnically diverse city in the UK.

This intimate mosaic of personal accounts and photographic portraits fills the void in which prejudice and distorted narratives about immigration thrive. It gives the reader the opportunity to hear above the clamouring headlines the voices of people who, for a whole variety of reasons and from very different backgrounds, have made Birmingham their home.

‘MAPPING BONES 4 – They Cross Oceans’ – Exhibition of works by Saranjit Birdi which will include ambidextrous drawing performances by the artist in the gallery space 14th and 17th September 11-1pm.

13th - 20th September

As nationalism, migration and border‐crossing become major issues; artist Saranjit Birdi turns inward, exploring through drawing a shared and non‐negotiable terrain, our skeleton. His ambidextrous, contemporary drawing practice developed over the last twenty years into drawing performance as well as working in the Arts and Health sector with people with impaired mobility. This exhibition displays drawings from his series ‘Mapping Bones’.
